I do not own a Like 200i, I just purchased a Kymco GT300i in silver (still awaiting delivery) I wished that the GT300i was available in Red, as the Like is! My older Kymco People S200 came in that same exact Red!
I noticed that most of Kymco USA scooters are built in China now. In fact, only 5 Kymco scoots are built in Taiwan now for the US market. Labor is pretty expensive in Taiwan & Kymco needs to keep their prices affordable. I won't worry if it's built in China, as it's all under the Kymco flag & supervision.
My dealer had a Like200i @ I sat on it. Not bad looking & $2699.00. plus it's FI now. Just that my frame 6' 230lbs. didn't fit well with the Like. My People S200 had the same exact engine, but with a carb. That engine (163cc) never gave me one problem.
